CPAN::WAIT Description

Adds commands to search a WAIT4CPAN server to the CPAN shell() CPAN::WAIT is a Perl module that adds commands to search a WAIT4CPAN server to the CPAN shell().SYNOPSIS perl -MCPAN -e shell > wq au=wall > wr 3 > wd 3 > wl 20 > wh > wh wqCPAN::WAIT adds some comands to the CPAN shell() to perform searches on a WAIT server. It connects to a WAIT server using a simple protocoll resembling NNTP as described in RFC977. It uses the WAIT::Client module to handle this connection. This in turn inherits from Net::NNTP from the libnet package. So you need Net::NNTP to use this module.If no direct connection to the WAIT server is possible, the modules tries to connect via your HTTP proxy (as given by the CPAN configuration). Be warned though that the emulation of the stateful protocol via HTTP is slow.The variable CPAN::WAIT::TIMEOUT specifies the number of seconds to wait for an answer from the server. The default is 20. You may want to set it to some larger value if you have a slow connection. Requirements: · Perl
